Just wanted to put a PSA out there for anyone planning on building a PV electronics nixie clock kit. I recieved my kit for an "elite" clock recently, and inspecting the tube driver board revealed some poor soldering of the 44-QPF HV5622 drivers. One chip had a solder bridge between two legs,

Very nice!!! To pull off the electrical design, fab and integrate it into an aesthetically pleasing watch design is no small feat. My only criticism of the z5900m is the coarse anode. In my opinion the previous style tube you used (Burroughs) with the fine mesh anode is much nicer to look at. But
